There is one thing you _can_ do--make sup easy to package by providing a
setup.rb or install.rb for installation.

Ruby gems and Python eggs seem to suffer from the same problem; they
don't just deal with packaging but also with versioning and they do it
in a way that makes packaging in Linux distros difficult.

See http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/rubygems.html for Debian's
position on gems.
